gpuocelot llvm/Assembly/Parser.h: No such file or directory - c++

Question

I am using ubuntu 12.04
I have been trying to install gpuocelot for a few day now.
I recently installed llvm from the svn using
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm­project/llvm/trunk llvm
./configure ­­enable­optimized
sudo make
sudo make install
But to do this I had to update gcc to 4.7 which i had also done
Now when i run sudo ./build.py --install
I keep on getting the following error
ocelot/ocelot/ir/implementation/ExternalFunctionSet.cpp:28:34: fatal error: llvm/Assembly/Parser.h: No such file or directory
The following outputs might be of help

The LLVM C++ API, including the very existence and location of headers, is very unstable. This is why projects usually align themselves to some official release of LLVM, and I'm sure GPUOcelot follows the same pattern.
In top-of-tree LLVM, the header llvm/Assembler/Parse.h doesn't exist, which is why you can't find it. You should compile & link GPUOcelot vs. the LLVM version it supports officially. If GPUOcelot tries to follow the top-of-tree of LLVM, at least there should be a "known good revision" with which it works.
